Chapter 196


    Sawyer made me confused. Right at that moment, the waiter served the dishes, so I ignored him and


    began to grill the meat. It had been a while since I had a meal outside.


    It was quite alluring.


    "Arianna, did you hear what I said?" Sawyer was uptight. "You have to start nning for yourself. Don''t


    wait until they''ve plotted everything and left you with nothing!"


    I put the cooked meat on his te and ate mine as I spoke, "It''s still early to discuss this. Let''s eat first."


    I wasn''t worried because I owned nothing other than myself. There was no need for them to scheme


    against me.


    If Hendrix wanted a divorce, I would just sign it. In my opinion, nothing would be worse than death.


    Seeing that I remained unmoved after listening to his lengthy lecture, Sawyer was at a loss for words.


    He only managed to speak a few words, "I''m casting pearls before swine."


    After a while, he looked at my belly and continued, "You''re going intobor soon.


    Aren''t you going to fight for your child?"


    I felt like he was about to start nagging, so I put down my fork and looked into his eyes, "Don''t worry.


    We''lle to you if we can''t feed ourselves."


    Upon hearing this, he grinned and squinted his eyes yfully. "Great! I''ll be his godfather and leave


    him all my inheritance!"


    Sawyer was already acting drunk even though he hadn''t had any alcohol.


    I ran out of words to say. So after putting more meat on his te, I simply asked him to eat more, trying


    to keep his mouth busy with other things.


    Heughed exaggeratedly and babbled as he ate, "Arianna, I''m dead serious. I want to be your child''s


    godfather."


    My phone rang in my bag. I took it out to see that it was Hendrix.


    I didn''t want to answer it, but he kept calling, and I didn''t want to listen to Sawyer''s nonsense.


    Therefore, I picked up the phone.


    "Where are you?" Hendrix asked.


    "The barbecue restaurant."


    "Where is it?"


    I really didn''t want to see him. So I hesitantly answered, "We''re almost done, and I''m heading back


    soon."


    "Do you want me to broadcast in the mall?"


    My anger red at his shamelessness.


    "Just head to the corner from your ce," Grumpy, I hung up the phone as soon as I finished speaking.


    Sawyer and I almost emptied the dishes on the table. Seeing that I had quite a lot, Sawyer asked with a


    smile, "Do you need more?"


    I nodded. If Hendrix were to join uster, he wouldn''t just sit by and watch.


    About two minutester, Hendrix arrived.


    He smoothly took the seat by my side and rested his long arms behind my seat. He scanned at the


    almost empty tes on the table and asked, "What else do you want to eat?"


    "I''m full!" I was telling the truth. I had eaten most of the food earlier.


    "I ordered more." Sawyer took a nce at him and added, "Mr. Roberts, it seems like you''re quite busy


    with your business recently."


    ncing sideways at Sawyer, Hendrix replied tly, "Not really."

    Sawyer never said anything pleasant to the ears, so I didn''t expect him to say something good. As


    expected, what he said next was very straightforward, "I think the girl just now is so much younger than


    you, Mr. Roberts. Have you recently taken a liking to younger girls?"


    I couldn''t help but be dumbfounded by that, and my hand halted midway with a ss of water in it. I


    couldn''t believe that Sawyer had dared to cross Hendrix''s bottom line.


    I glimpsed at Hendrix from the corner of my eye and saw that he was calm, and there was even a smile


    on his handsome face. "How about you? Do you prefer pregnantdies?"


    I spat a mouthful of water out.


    Hendrix nced at me and gracefully pulled a few tissues to wipe the water on my mouth. It was a little


    nerve-racking for me to let him help me, so I took the tissues away from his hand and wiped myself.
